  • • The Penguins Are Different. Are They Better?
    Two days into free agency and with nine signings under our belt, it’s time to take a step back and see what Kyle Dubas has wrought. The Penguins sure are different. Deeper, too, at least for the time being. Are they better? I do like the fact that we’re bigger. The additions of monster forwards Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau should make us more difficult to handle, particularly in the high-traf...2025
  • • Penguins Free Agent Update: Day 1 (and ½)
    As anticipated, the Penguins didn’t do a cannonball splash into the deep end of the free-agency pool yesterday. However, they did wade into the shallow end to make a handful of signings. In order of the announced signings, the first UFA to join the fold was 27-year-old defenseman Parker Wotherspoon. A left shot, the former Islander and Bruin has okay size, checking in at 6’1” 192. He’s regarded as...2025
  • • Penguins 2025 Draft Review – Part 2: Bill Zonnon
    Continuing my breakdown of the Penguins’ 2025 first-round picks—if you haven’t read Part One on Ben Kindel yet, I highly recommend starting there. Now we jump into an exciting Part Two—featuring a player I was genuinely thrilled to see selected: Bill Zonnon. He’s someone I’ve had my eye on for a while, and going into the draft, I was really hoping the Penguins would come away with him. As I mentio...2025

Defenseman prospect Isaac Belliveau was sent to the Sabres. … Continue reading → The post Clifton traded to Penguins by Sabres for Timmins first appeared on Pro Hockey News....2025
  • • Penguins Acquire Clifton and a Pick from Sabres for Timmins and Belliveau
    Heading into Day 2 of the Entry Draft, the Penguins pulled off a swap of defensemen with the Sabres. Shuffling off to Buffalo are Conor Timmins, acquired at the trade deadline, and pigeon-holed (or undervalued) prospect Isaac Belliveau. Coming the Pens’ way is 30-year-old, third-pairing hard-noser Connor Clifton and the 39th overall pick, which Kyle Dubas promptly used to select hulking shutdown d...2025

    "You could see that shift taking shape with moves like trading Yager for a relentless, high-energy, physical forward like Rutger McGroarty, and adding guys like the hitting machine Noel Acciari, the gritty Connor Dewar, the buzzsaw Blake Lizotte, the dependable two-way presence of Tommy Novak, and most recently, Connor Clifton—a tough-as-nails defenseman who loves to lay on the hits, block shots, and not afraid to throw hands with anyone."

    "In Columbus, the Sabres’ Connor Clifton scored with three minutes gone in the third period to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead they would hold for the win over the Blue Jackets on Friday night."

    "Ninety seconds removed from Connor Clifton’s game-tying tally, Brad Marchand gave the B’s the lead over the Hurricanes with 8:20 remaining in the final frame at Scotiabank Arena."
